The invention is a method and process to create integrated nonlinear photonics, using the material tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5, also known as tantala). CU researchers deposit tantala material on ...
Researchers at MIT and Singapore University of Technology (SUTD) have demonstrated a micro ring resonator made of amorphous silicon carbide with the highest quality factor to date. The resonator shows ...
Fifteen years ago, UC Santa Barbara electrical and materials professor John Bowers pioneered a method for integrating a laser onto a silicon wafer. The technology has since been widely deployed in ...
Nonlinear optical materials such as silicon can be used to make on-chip devices that break dynamic reciprocity. (Courtesy: K Xia) A new method for making devices that act like a “one-way street” for ...
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — As buzz grows ever louder over the future of quantum, researchers everywhere are working overtime to discover how best to unlock the promise of super-positioned, entangled, ...
A team from the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has created a 2D laser just one molecule thick that promises to make significant advances in ...
A Möbius strip is a fascinating object. You can easily create a Möbius strip when twisting the two ends of a strip of paper by 180 degrees and connect them together. Upon closer inspection, you ...
